                   ORDERS FOR FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2003

  Mr. FRIST. I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its 
business today, it adjourn until 9:30 a.m. Friday, October 3. I further 
ask that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed 
expired, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the time for 
the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day, and the 
Senate then begin a period of morning business for up to 30 minutes 
with the first 15 minutes under the control of the minority leader or 
his designee and the second 15 minutes under the control of the 
majority leader or his designee; provided that following morning 
business the Senate resume consideration of S. 1689, the Iraq/
Afghanistan Supplemental Appropriations bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  The assistant minority leader.
  Mr. REID. Everyone within the sound of our voice, staff, Members, 
should understand that tomorrow is a free day. They can come and offer 
amendments. They might have to wait for a minute until someone else 
offers an amendment. They can speak as long as they want. Tomorrow is 
the day that people have the opportunity to offer amendments.
  We are going to come back Tuesday after the recess. We have a lot of 
work to do. If we get amendments laid down, the two leaders can set up 
a time we can vote on them and finish debating them. So I hope people 
understand tomorrow is an excellent day for the offering of amendments.
  No objection.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
